E–4

Order Number: EK–STWCT–UG. E01

E.2.1.6 Verification

Use the following command to verify that the “passwd” file was written to tape:

tar tvf /dev/rmt/c201d4h

tar tvf /dev/rmt/8_8mm8500c

The system responds with something similar to the following:

rw-r--r-- 0/10 535 Jan 14 16:31 1995 /etc/passwd

The installation and verification procedure is now complete.

E.2.2 Dump Parameters for the Tape Drive

The parameters that should be used when running the dump utility with the tape drive are:

density = 54000

size = choose from table

15 m

54 m

112 m

8200(c)

804

2893

6000

8500(c)

1741

6268

13000

blocking factor = 126 (recommended)

Example

The following example shows the command for backing up an entire disk partition onto the
tape drive, using a 112-meter tape:

dump 0dsbf 54000 13000 126 /dev/rmt/c201d4h /dev/dsk/c201d5s0

dump 0dsbf 54000 13000 126 /dev/rmt/8_8mm8500c /dev/vg00/rlvol5

For further help, refer to man pages of the dump command.
